The Department of Energy awarded Honeywell International Inc. a $368,663,580 Project Grant under the Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chain Demonstrations and Commercial Applications program (CFDA 81.253). The objective is to build a 10,000-ton commercial-scale facility for the domestic production of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) in Geismar, Louisiana. This new state-of-the-art facility will be the first domestic production facility for this critical lithium salt needed for the domestic production of lithium-ion batteries to support the transition to electric vehicles and clean energy solutions. The award has a performance period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029 and aims to strengthen U.S. manufacturing capabilities and reduce foreign dependency on critical materials.
